These classes will perform two routines in one competition in addition to the recitals. Students must have a minimum of 1-2 years of previous dance.

Tech and Ballet

Tech and Ballet classes cover basic to advanced skills. Ballet classes follow basic dress code(pink ballet shoes, pink tights, black leotard, and hair in a bun. Boys black pants or shorts, white tank top and black ballet shoes). Tech and Ballet classes do not perform in the recital. We have many dancers looking to just take class and not perform... this would be the perfect option for you.

Improv

Improv teaches dancers to use their own creativity to create movement. Improv feels free, and is seemingly unstructured, less technically strict and impulsive form that draws inspiration from everyday dance practices and influences. It is a movement technique that is capable of evoking dramatic and thought-provoking content. Improv can be a real confidence builder.
